ACL suggestions

[EC]

as we all know, forum members like to help, so here is the place to make suggestions to the band as to how to make the show REALLY POP:

1.  we need a rotating circular stage for patrick to play drums on.  it doesn't have to be anything fancy - nothing that a tattooed guitar tech macgyver couldn't make in five minutes with a bit of wood, some circular track, some ball bearings and a mission.  tom can even spin him by foot.

2.  we need to get bo those wheels that we were talking about so that he can move in on the jams.

3.  carl needs a 40 minute long pedal steel solo.  perhaps after patrick's run thru solo that will also need to involve fireworks (bottle rockets will do just fine).  if 40 minutes runs into bob dylan's set, then we'll settle with 36 minutes and just ask bob to skip blowin' in the wind.

4.  this is essential:  tom needs a cape.

5.  gospel choir.  no further explanation needed on this one.  in fact, i can't believe it hasn't already happened.

6.  jim needs to bring back the vest.  y'all know what i'm talking about and which vest i mean - check out the photo gallery circa 2004 if you're new or too young to remember.

7.  mother popcorn and hearts on fire need to be added to the set list.  

8.  perhaps we could think about playing come closer maybe just one time...


or none of them.  i'm just so excited to be coming to tejas.

This one brought tears! ;D

Since everything in Texas is bigger, I would suggest the band gets those wonderful people that do the giant puppets (from bonnaroo '05) and have them come out as giant characteratures of the band while the boys just play their intruments backstage and the puppets play giant fake guitars, drums and keys.

1. On-Stage Bonfire!

2. At least one new song played. C'mon, guys, we're dying to hear them.

3. Every band member needs to be wearing a pirate outfit. Especially Tom.

4. Cannons that shoot out marshmellow peeps. You know it has to happen sometime.

all of ec's suggestions are beyond perf but what i would really want is for them to just play on the shores of barton springs so i can swim on a floatie and listen. and drink a lone star

An acoustic session???  They guys stated in the 2003 performance documentary at the Mercury Lounge in Austin about how they were blown away by the urban oasis of Barton Springs.

I bet they go there during ACL.

As for me...I'd just be happy if they play for longer than an hour. They are buddy buds w/ Bob Dylan. He won't mind.

A new song would be nice.

I would like to see a 2-song duet with Dylan. One of his songs, one of the Jacket's. Prehaps Going to Acapulco and Bermuda Highway? Awesome.

I was checking out the bands I have never heard of on the lineup.  I ran into quite a few gospel groups.  I absolutely, 100%, support this!

I am gonna start a petition untill I hear it, even if it takes me till the end of time. Probally one of the best songs Jim ever created and one of the most underated by FAR!!!!

40 minute of pedal. lololol

[JacketGal]

The return of the 20-gallon hat Jim wore on NYE.  ;D

I think a duet w/ Tweedy (maybe on one of the Mermaid Ave songs) would make many see a higher power! But, they're playing at the same time, right? Damn!
